No picture messages?

Sunday 04th of July 2010 / android.net
My phone wont let me send or receive a picture in a text. the rest of my messages all work fine but when i tap on the "download" button in the txt, it will say downloading but my 3G symbol in the notifications bar doesn't show incoming data, and it'll sit there till it goes to sleep with nothing. Is this a settings issue? Searching for issues like this i pull up a few discussions where people need to set the MMS MCC MMSC and a number of other collections of letters that i dont really understand. I'm with Rogers Wireless in Canada, Please help

Google play wont download on certain network....

Monday 16th of April 2012 / androidforums.com
Hi guys..... First time posting anything so sorry if this is in the wrong place. I've got the galaxy tab 10.1 and recently the android market wont download any apps at all. I am on 3g (mtn network). It just stuck at downloading and eventually it gave an error (495) after 30 minutes. I also noticed it never updated to google play, my market updater seems like its not running. I did everything from factory reset to clearing cache and obviously installed the latest version of google play.Although today when i connected to wifi everything updated and installed correctly. Now i can download any app. The wifi i connect to is the galaxy s i9000 ( mobile access point), so i used that sim card in the tablet ( cell c network). Everything works fine now. I just wondered if this happened to anyone else, and if theres a way to fix this. I need that sim card in my phone, and dont know if buying a new one for the tablet might work. And im just curious wht the cause is. Sorry for the essay.Thanks for the help. Ciao

Got a new Market app, now I cant install anything

Tuesday 19th of October 2010 / androidforums.com
Phone: i7500ROM: Galaxo 1.6.3.4Baseband: JC6With that out of the way, let me explain: A few weeks ago it seems my Market app had been updated, because I got a new and more glossy icon for it. Then, a week or so later, I and everyone else in Norway was able to finally buy and download paid apps, so far so good. But then a few days ago, all of a sudden I am able to set apps to auto update and "Update all" on the Downloads screen, so apparently I have received a new update for the Market app.However, since this last update (if that is what it is), every time I try to update or download a new app it "Starting download..." for a bit, then fails with the message "Download was unsuccessful, please try again."But no matter what I try i just wont do it whether it's on 3G or wifi.Any ideas?

droid x apps wont download on wifi

Tuesday 20th of July 2010 / forums.androidcentral.com
Hey guys, the Motorola X is my first Droid phone, but so far I have not been able to download apps on the X via wifi. It seems that they stall on the download screen, but as soon as i switch over to 3g by turning off wifi the downloads start almost instantly. Is there any thing that I am doing wrong? I am starting to believe that there's some sort of program conflict preventing the phone from downloading while on wifi. Any tips tricks or other ideas I can try?

Google Music - Wont stop Downloading while on 3/4G - Bionic

Saturday 10th of September 2011 / droidforums.net
When playing around with Google Music today I noticed something that may affect your Battery/Data consumption:Streaming via 3G or 4G...I have my options set to NOT CACHE MUSIC and to DOWNLOAD VIA WIFI ONLY. The Stream music via Wifi is unchecked (obviously or I couldn't stream on any G network).When playing a song from any online Album, it starts to play.I checked the Download Queue and I noticed that there were several other songs from that same album queued..When one finished, the next one would start up. To get it to stop I had to set option to Stream only on WiFi and set my Library to Offline Only. It kinda P'd me off because for the last day I've been trying to get a battery life measurement and the whole time, Google Music was downloading stuff even though I had set the options to NOT download and not to cache anything. While I would not have a problem with this while on WiFi, it is a huge issue if I'm out on the road. Granted, I could put my stuff on the SD card, but damnit, I shouldn't have to Was curious if this was just my phone, or are others seeing this.I have tried to un

Razr edge?

Wednesday 04th of April 2012 / droidforums.net
One of the reasons I bought the motorola Razr (apart from its spec which is ideal) is to use it in a Motorola work and play kit - hdmi connection to TV and a pair of Bang Olufsen active speakers wired up via the headphone socket on the rear of the dock. I know the speakers perform well when connected via the phones headphone socket, and I can control all aspects of the speakers via Poweramp, altogether I am hoping the work and play kit will make a great viewing and sound medium. Anyone got any thoughts as to the power handling capability of the dock? The speakers will just act as though they are headphones, so I can't see that as a problem, but maybe you know different ......The phone wont be connected to any wireless or hotspot devices so internet wise it only going to be able to run on 2G or 3G, which is fine cause we don't intend to download films or anything byte hungry. Can I make the assumption that having a darn great TV attached via the hdmi lead won't detract from the phones performance? I cannot see why there should be any problem but shout if you think it makes any differ

phone wont download on 3g

Tuesday 20th of August 2013 / androidforums.com
Hi, I have been struggling with this one for awhile. My phone will download over wifi but when away from wifi cant get anything to download. It used to.I can surf the web fine. Just no downloading.In the past toggling the phone into aeroplane mode and restarting helped on one ocassion. Alas no more.Have checked to ensure no restriction on background data.Phone company have said signal is not strong enough to download with. But I have in the past. And frankly if I can browse and watch utube dont see why I cant download.If it helps with suggestions I recently rooted phone. If anything needed be downloaded to help will have to wait till I visit friend with wifi :-)Could be elaborate process to solve. I am willing. :-)Thanks for help.
